Academy Kennels

Academy Kennels is a family-owned facility at 2691 N Airport Rd offering dog boarding in Fort Myers, FL, plus daycare and grooming. The kennel also takes cats, birds, rabbits and other pets, and it accepts dogs that need medication on a set schedule. Supervision runs around the clock, and staff live on the property to handle late-night checks.

Services and amenities

• Climate-controlled indoor/outdoor runs that are larger than average
• Large outdoor exercise yards
• A private dog park available by subscription
• Dog daycare on weekdays
• Grooming, plus pickup and drop-off transport

What sets it apart

Run size is the first thing owners tend to notice. The indoor/outdoor runs are bigger than the typical kennel, which means dogs from the same household can stay together instead of being split up. That matters for dogs that get anxious on their own.

The other difference is who they accept. Special needs and hard-to-handle dogs are welcome, and staff administer medication during a stay. A Certified PEMF Practitioner is on staff as well.
